Perhaps because of the temptation of candies, Ping An Village Primary School finally received forty students.
The youngest is Qian Chuntao, the village chief's granddaughter, who is six years old, and the eldest are Xu Bing and Mo Jingxiang, both of whom are fifteen years old.
There is no such thing further up, because those who are sixteen years old are either married or given away.
That's how it is in this era, people get married very early, otherwise Song Xi wouldn't be able to have a marriage certificate at such a young age.
All the parents of forty children went to the village chief to sign the agreement.
Anyone who violates the agreement will have their dividends cancelled. Some grandmother-level figures who don't want girls to study have also given up their minds.
They originally wanted their children to come back after receiving a bag of candies, but for the sake of dividends and their own interests, they had no choice but to let their daughter study peacefully.
If you want to squeeze it out, it's impossible.
After all, the village chief's punishments were very severe, and no one could afford such a huge loss.
In a blink of an eye, it’s the ninth day, which is the day of dividends.
Each household sent one person to receive the money. Zhou Dazhu's parents were not eligible to receive the money because of Zhou Dazhu.
But they severed ties with Zhou Dazhu, so whatever mistakes Zhou Dazhu made would have nothing to do with them and would not affect their interests, so they received five yuan.
Qian Weimin knew that they were severing their relationship on the surface and supporting his son privately. He just pretended that he didn't know about these things. After all, he was forced too hard. What should he do if Zhou Dazhu bites people like a mad dog?
Ping An Village is still too poor, so it must make money in a low-key manner so that everyone can live a good life.
What’s five dollars a month?
When can he live twenty or thirty a month like a worker, so that he can truly live a good life? Therefore, he does not allow bad elements to appear in the village to destroy the only hope of Ping An Village.
Other village cadres also did not allow this to happen.
Xu Yunying was very happy after receiving her five yuan. She pulled Song Xi to the corner and said, "Xiao Xi, let's go early tomorrow to see if we can buy better meat."
"Okay, let's go early then!" If we go by bullock cart, it will already be half morning when we arrive near the market. There really isn't anything good in the market, so it's better to go early.
Song Xi also had a trading relationship with Aunt Li, and the two now had a good relationship, so Song Xi also went to see Aunt Li in the evening.
Asked if she would like to buy some bones, Aunt Li was naturally willing and agreed to Song Xi's proposal without hesitation.
The next morning, as soon as the crab seller left, Song Xi picked up the basket and prepared to set off. Zhou Yi held Song Xi's hand, somewhat reluctantly, "Daughter-in-law, is it too early? It's not dawn yet!"
"
It's cold now, and it won't be completely bright until after seven o'clock, and there won't be any light until after six o'clock. But now it's only after five o'clock, and nothing can be seen clearly outside.
"It's okay, a group of us are going together! You can rest for a while!" Song Xi stepped forward and kissed Zhou Yi on the cheek, then went out with a flashlight. As soon as he went out, he saw a group of people standing outside the door.
Aunt Li, Xu Yunying, mother and son, and Zhou Xiaoshu and Zhou Xiaohua, when they saw Song Xi coming out, they all smiled at Song Xi and felt a little sorry. After all, it was too early now.
"Let's go!" Song Xi ordered, and a group of people held up flashlights and walked toward the village closest to the commune.
Since we started early today, we naturally arrived at our destination early, but the market was already very busy, which meant that many people arrived earlier than they did.
They didn't go out of their way to tell many people. After all, not everyone believed it. When someone discovered their strange whereabouts, some people would naturally be interested. Then they would know about the existence of the market if they did a little research.
They went straight to the meat stall installed here by the meat joint factory, and sure enough, there was meat.
It's just that good meat requires meat tickets, and they don't have any, so they can only buy bones, offal, and pig's trotters that don't require tickets.
Aunt Li glanced at Song Xi and was extremely grateful.
Unexpectedly, Song Xi would be willing to take her to such a good place.
Aunt Li has a large family and a large demand for meat. In addition, she is now considered an old rich woman. Even her family members don’t know how much money she has earned from classmate Song Xi, so she doesn’t spend money as much.
I used to dig and search like that.
Aunt Li directly ordered ten pounds of pig blood, ten pounds of pork liver, and two sets of pig heart and lungs, hoping that everyone in the family would be able to enjoy a good meal.
In addition, ten pig's trotters are needed because pig's trotters can be pickled and stored for a long time.
Xu Yunying is under a lot of pressure to raise three children by herself, but she just received five yuan yesterday, so she bought two six-pound pig trotters, two catties of pig liver, and two catties of pig blood.
The three children looked at Xu Yunying's generous appearance, looked at each other, and laughed happily.
After leaving Zhou Dazhu's house, their living standards have skyrocketed. They can eat enough and sleep enough. They no longer need to drink water to satisfy their hunger as before, and they can't even stay full.
Xu Yunying was in a good mood, so she gave each of the three children 50 cents and asked them to buy things by themselves. Although there was nothing good at the rural market, maybe they would be lucky enough to come across something good!
Zhou Xiaoshu and Zhou Xiaohua bought six kilograms of pig's trotters and two kilograms of pork liver, and then went shopping with Xu Bing and the others.
Although their father did not give them a penny of the five yuan given by the village, the two children also made hundreds of yuan because of Song Xi, and they could live for several years without doing anything.
Besides, now in winter they start to dig wild vegetables and winter bamboo shoots again.
They have a steady stream of income, so they are naturally willing to go out and buy something.
Song Xi doesn't know if this market will continue to exist in the future, so now she wants to buy more things and store them in the supermarket.
In this way, even if there is no place to buy things in the future, she doesn't have to worry.
But now that there are so many people around her, it’s hard for her to buy too much at once.
Because it was too heavy, she couldn't smuggle it into the supermarket in front of everyone.
So she temporarily bought twenty kilograms of bones and twelve kilograms of pig's trotters. After Aunt Li and Xu Yunying dispersed to find what they needed, Song Xi went over to line up again.
Cleaning pig intestines and pig heart and lungs was too troublesome, so she did not buy these two items this time.
Instead, I bought well-processed pork bones, pig's trotters, pig's blood and pig's liver, totaling one hundred and twenty kilograms.
She went to the woods to transfer her things to the supermarket, then returned to the market and started shopping slowly.
"Little girl, do you like to eat grapefruit?" Song Xi was walking when she suddenly heard an old voice soliciting customers.
Song Xi didn't know who the old voice was calling, but she still looked in the direction of the source of the sound.
I saw a bamboo basket of grapefruits placed on the stall of an old man. However, the grapefruits were not big and may not have enough nutrients. They only seemed to weigh about a kilogram.
